-\f0\fs28 \cf0 Keeping a budget allows you to pay closer attention to your income and\
-expenses, by reporting how far your actual financial activity is from\
-your expectations.\
-\
-To start keeping a budget, put some period transactions at the top of your\
-ledger file. A period transaction is almost identical to a regular transaction,\
-except that it begins with a tilde and has a period expression in\
-place of a payee. For example:\
-\
-@smallexample\
-~ Monthly\
- Expenses:Rent $500.00\
- Expenses:Food $450.00\
- Expenses:Auto:Gas $120.00\
- Expenses:Insurance $150.00\
- Expenses:Phone $125.00\
- Expenses:Utilities $100.00\
- Expenses:Movies $50.00\
- Expenses $200.00 ; all other expenses\
- Assets\
-\
-~ Yearly\
- Expenses:Auto:Repair $500.00\
- Assets\
-@end smallexample\
-\
-These two period transactions give the usual monthly expenses, as well as\
-one typical yearly expense. For help on finding out what your average\
-monthly expense is for any category, use a command like:\
-\
-@example\
-ledger -p "this year" -MAs bal ^expenses\
-@end example\
-\
-The reported totals are the current year's average for each account.\
-\
-Once these period transactions are defined, creating a budget report is as\
-easy as adding @option\{--budget\} to the command-line. For example, a\
-typical monthly expense report would be:\
-\
-@example\
-ledger -M reg ^exp\
-@end example\
-\
-To see the same report balanced against your budget, use:\
-\
-@example\
-ledger --budget -M reg ^exp\
-@end example\
-\
-A budget report includes only those accounts that appear in the\
-budget. To see all expenses balanced against the budget, use\
-@option\{--add-budget\}. You can even see only the unbudgeted expenses\
-using @option\{--unbudgeted\}:\
-\
-@example\
-ledger --unbudgeted -M reg ^exp\
-@end example\
-\
-You can also use these flags with the @command\{balance\} command.} \ No newline at end of file
